In this episode of Exegetically Speaking . . .
Dr. Ron Hayden, an adjunct professor at Wheaton College, considers one of the most ambiguous passages in the Bible, the pronouncement of 70 “sevens” in Daniel 9. He suggests that the ambiguity is intentional.

Here is my Facebook post of August 19th, three weeks after my son died.
In summer 1988 we took the kids to Stone Mountain GA where we rode the train. Here is Daniel Capes, at 5 years, wearing a light blue shirt seated next to his cousin, Lauren Capes Kitenplon. Typical Daniel face. Seated in front is cousin Jeremy Capes and Daniel’s older brother, Bryan Capes. I’m seated behind holding Jordan Capes, with a pacifier, who was about 8-9 months old. We miss you, Daniel. You leave a gap which cannot be filled.

Here is my Facebook post of August 16, 2019 about 2 weeks after our son died.
Over the past 25 years we’ve had a family tradition, a beach trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama. Here is a treasured photo from June 2018, 14 months before our son died. Here are my three sons: Jordan Capes, Bryan Capes and Daniel Capes. Daniel Capes is to my left (Picture right). For obvious reasons we missed this year’s trip. Daniel’s last request was to go to the beach. So we checked him out of M. D. Anderson Hospital and took him to Galveston Island. Two friends, Brenda and Ray Whaley, gave us the use of their beach house on Pirate’s Beach. We spent a cherished week there. Friends and family came from GA, FL and TX to spend time with us. We miss you, Daniel. You’ve made it to white shores and beyond, a far green country, under a swift sunrise. Remember, you promised to meet us when we come.
In this 7 minute podcast I cohosted at Wheaton College . . .
Dr. Douglas Moo, Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament, considers how best to understand and translate the clause often translated as “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil 2:12).
